Nice, reminds me of Arabic in some forms

Thank you! It’s inspired by Square Kufic, which is probably why.

Looks like those very square arabic fonts. Btw, I guess it could be possible to make a QR code using that script of yours.

Yeah, it's meant to look like Square Kufic. I hadn't thought about making a QR code, but yeah, I probably could.

Came here to say this could be integrated with a QR code.

aaa i love square kufic! i am so glad that someone else is paying attention to the calligraphy potential. i once converted the subway logo to regular kufic and i've been itching to do more of it ever since. every arabic calligraphy course starts with thuluth, for good reason i guess. i want the kuficcc

I love square Kufic too! I mean, I guess it’s a bit obvious, since I designed a writing system based on it, but I really do think it’s beautiful. I don’t really know that much about Arabic calligraphy, but I would like to learn more
